Robert Frost: Escapist - Never

He is no fugitive -- escaped, escaping,No one has seen him stumble looking back,His fear is not behind him but beside himOn either hand to make his course perhapsA crooked straightness yet no less a straightness.He runs face forward. He is a pursuer,He seeks a seeker who in his turn seeksAnother still, lost far into the distance.Any who seek him seek in him the seeker.His life is a pursuit of a pursuit forever.It is the future that creates his present.He is an interminable chain of longing.

"And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far into the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."
Rainer Maria Rilke
"The unsurpassed, profound and wonderful Dharma is difficult to encounter in hundreds of millions of eons. I now see it and hear it, receive and uphold it, and I vow to fathom the Tathagata's true meaning."
